Aerogel recently has be come a favorite news in science and technology. The Aerogel has been claimed as the world’s most powerful materials on this planet.
What is Aerogel? A gel is a liquid with a network of particles throughout that gives it a solid-like structure. If you replace the liquid with gas, you have aerogel. According to Wikipedia, “Aerogel was first created by Steven Kistler in 1931, as a result of a bet with Charles Learned over who could replace the liquid inside a jam (jelly) jar with gas without causing shrinkage.”
The special ability of this Aerogel are Its can Block out intense of heat, cold and sound; Support thousands times of its own weight and 1000 times less dense than glass, its shaped almost transparent which its composed of 99.8% air. The lowest density silica base Aerogels are even lighter than air.
The great things is the erogel has 15 entries in the Guinness Book of World Records, including lowest density solid and best insulator.
